December 27, 200817 yr Here is a knife I finally finished, a chef's or sushi type knife, blade is 1084, handle is sugar maple. The blade is chisel ground for a right hand (I think), it is flat ground on the bevel side and flat ground then slightly convexed on the other side. The sugar maple is gorgeous stuff. Comments and critique welcome.
December 27, 200817 yr I think this make 3 blades finished now ? nice Chef knife, but most sushi blades I have seen are flat bottom, not arched.
December 28, 200817 yr Well made, looks functional. Regular maple is usually bland compared to exotic woods but when you get curly maple, aka tiger maple like this it does all the difference in the look even function because curly wood ( any kind) is much harder to split and not likely to fail. Is that steel gonna rust if you leave water on it?
December 28, 200817 yr Author Yes it is plain carbon steel so it will rust, but no biggie. It's not a problem if you take care and oil it after use.
January 17, 200917 yr nice knife.. i am going t try to make a sashimi knife like feukair made. both of them are nice blades. good job
